CHAPTER 872 WITNESS TOGETHER

Meanwhile, the once tensed atmosphere became bustling again after Alyssa's sudden appearance. At

that moment, people started whispering to each other and talked about why Alyssa was there, when in

fact, she should have been with the emperor in the first place.

Together with her was his younger brother, Woods, the sixth prince of the emperor.

On the other hand, Rocky was also stunned to see the siblings. He gazed at them for a while until his

eyes met with Woods' and realized that Woods arranged this whole thing. As a result, Rocky could not

help but heave a deep sigh. However, Rocky had to admit that the two siblings appeared in just the

right time. If they came in later or never at all, then it would be much harder for him to turn the tide for

the Cao Clan's fate.

"Your Royal Highness, what a surprise! What brings you here today?" All the five judges stood up and

lowered their heads to Alyssa and Woods' presence. They might look very welcoming, but deep inside,

all the five judges could not wrap their heads around as to why these two showed up without any

warning. In fact, these judges were ashamed to let the siblings see how Rocky was questioning them.

But Alyssa didn't utter a single word to them; instead, she placed her eyes on Rocky and examined him

with utmost curiosity.

"Please, allow me to explain the situation, Your Royal Highness," one of the judges said as he carefully

chose his words in an attempt to please Alyssa. But Alyssa raised her hand and stopped him from

talking further. "There is no need. I have seen and learned everything first-hand. Did you not hear what

I had just said?" she replied. Afterwards, she slowly swept her eyes over the five judges in front of her.

Meanwhile, the five judges could not help but stare on the floor and break out in cold sweat as Alyssa

stared at them. Perhaps, they were ashamed at the thought that both Princess Alyssa and Prince

Woods were there and witnessed the whole ordeal without letting them know. If that were the case,

then the two siblings must have witnessed everything that happened just a while ago with their own

eyes. Maybe, that was also the reason why the princess did not need their explanation.

In this case, the judges felt afraid for their lives. After all, they knew that there were dirty tricks in the

final round. They did not know what to do now that the princess was ordering them to continue with the

competition.

But since the princess said so, they had no choice but to obey her orders. Moreover, a lot of people

were watching them, and it would be such a shame if they dared disagree with the princess. Soon after,

without hesitation, the judges changed the previous ruling and ordered Rocky to continue.

On the other hand, Tate and his father could clearly sense that someone must have ratted them out.

Under such circumstance, they knew that Alyssa was supposed to take their side. Moreover, she

should have announced the Qi Clan as the winner of the contest instead of raising useless ramification

and giving the Cao Clan a flash of hope. At that moment, both of them were shocked as they suddenly

could not read what was happening.

Meanwhile, the Cao Clan could never be happier with the current news. They had never expected that

Alyssa's appearance would turn the situation the other way around. In fact, they had already readied

themselves to go home empty-handed. More than that, they also found it difficult to understand why

Alyssa would help them at such a critical moment.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!" A smile spread across Rocky's lips as he bowed to thank Alyssa

from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't make me regret making this decision." Alyssa met Rocky's eyes and walked towards the seats

that they had prepared for the two of them.

Meanwhile, Woods leaned his head and whispered into Rocky's ear when he was passing by, "I've tried

my best to help you. It's all up to you now. Please don't let me down."

As a response, Rocky let out a huge laugh. Soon after, he turned around and went back to his position.

While he was on his way back to his table, Rocky could clearly feel a raging stare following him around.

He didn't need to turn around to see who it was. After all, it was pretty obvious who held a vendetta

against him at that time, and there could only be one.

"Humph, I refuse to believe that he can bring a dead spirit-manipulated beast back to life. That won't

change anything! Let's just wait and see!" Tate grunted as he wore a ridiculous smile. And since the

contest was not over yet, both he and Rocky had to continue treating their beasts.

Meanwhile, Rocky had already reached his table and took a good look at the spirit-manipulated beast

which lay lifeless on the table. If he guessed it right, the beast's sudden death could be someone else's holds © this.

doing. Maybe, someone had put something in it before it was delivered on stage. As a result, the

spiritual power that Rocky had injected into its body only brought it an instant death.

'I guess that my spiritual power broke its heart meridian, so blood flew from the seven orifices in its

head, ' he concluded. After examining the beast's cause of death, he took his scalpel out and started to

cut through the dead spirit-manipulated beast's body.

As he worked, Rocky confirmed his speculation. There, he found that the blood vessels all over the

beast had been sealed, making it impossible for the spiritual power that he had injected to spread all

over the beast's body. As a result, its heart meridian was unable to bear so much power at one time

and broke, leading to its death.

But since Rocky had already done numerous surgeries in repairing heart meridians, including Isis'

Silver Wind, he was confident enough to repair the heart meridian of the beast on the table. This

unfortunate spirit-manipulated beast might appear dead, but the fact remained that it was still in a state

of shock. Rocky needed to hurry up if he wanted the heart meridian to still be viable. If the beast's heart

meridian could not be repaired anymore, then there would not be any option for Rocky but to call its

time of death.

Needless to say, although the situation did not look so good, it was still possible for Rocky to bring it

back to life as long as he could repair its heart meridian as soon as possible.

At that moment, time was of the essence. Without wasting any second, Rocky started to prepare for the

heart meridian repair. In fact, every move he made must be with a lot of care and precision. The

situation was so sensitive that one slight mistake would cost its life.

Despite Rocky's difficult case, he also had to make sure that he could finish it before Tate. Otherwise,

Rocky had to concede defeat whether he could bring his beast back to life or not.

'This is the most challenging task I've ever had in my life so far, ' thought Rocky as be rubbed his hands

together in preparation for the surgery.

Meanwhile, without batting an eyelash, the audience had their eyes glued to Rocky as they were afraid

to miss a single moment of it. Rocky's hands flew above the lifeless beast, too fast for the audience to

see clearly with the naked eye. His calmness, along with the organized way he did the surgery, made

the people believe that he could bring the beast back to life.

On the other side of the battlefield, Alyssa also fixed her eyes on Rocky as she nervously watched how

he tried to cure the spirit-manipulated beast on the table.

"I've told you that you will not regret your decision as long as you follow me here," Woods whispered

from aside, laughing at Alyssa's reaction.

Going back, Woods came to see Alyssa after meeting the emperor. "Hey, do you want to go

somewhere out of here?" Woods asked his sister. But at that moment, Alyssa had no idea that her

brother was taking her to the Qi Clan's place. Soon after, Woods slipped her into the contest hall and

saw Rocky up on the stage again, representing the Cao Clan. But this time, Rocky had to face Tate, the

apprentice of the Miracle Beast Curer. Seeing this, Alyssa became curious as to what Rocky could offer

in the competition against such a renowned opponent.

By the time Rocky's spirit-manipulated beast died on the table, Alyssa had a hunch that something

fishy was going on. She held on for quite a while and observed what Rocky would do next. But when

she heard Rocky exclaim that he could bring the dead beast back to life, Alyssa's interest peaked,

pushing her to stand out and give him a helping hand.
